The Wallflower

The Wallflower is a place for all types of eaters: vegans, celiacs and omnivores. This casual, hipster joint offers breakfast every day until 4PM and is often lined up on weekends. Try the polenta omelette with your choice of fillings -- it gets my vote for best vegan brunch plate in town. The Tofu Huevos is another stand-out breakfast entree.

33 Acres

33 Acres Brewing Co. proves that a lengthy brunch menu does not necessarily equal success. Their tiny, super solid, two-item menu creates a lineup at the 11am opening hour. Choose from an Avocado Smash on (Nelson the Seagull's amazing sourdough) and Beer waffles. Obviously, beer for brunch is a must here.

Burdock & Co

Chef Andrea Carlson’s relationship with local suppliers ensures that only the best arrives at the table, whether sourced from one of Vancouver’s nearby farms or a downtown urban garden. Burdock & Co. serves refined dishes crafted from organic ingredients.

Chicha

Ever tried a Peruvian brunch? Get to Chicha, where you won't only be impressed by the modern, South American-inspired dishes from Chefs Shelome Bouvette and Allison Flook...you'll be full. Choose from hefty Huevos Benedicts, Buttermilk & Sweet Potato Waffles, veggie-centric hash bowls and lots more. Note: their house-made honey quinoa bread is a carb-splurge you want to make.

Camp Upstairs

Through a discreet door you'll enter, and up a flight of stairs you'll go. At the top, you'll discover a delicious world hidden to the masses featuring in-house baked goods, 49th Parallel coffee, craft cocktails, and the type of indulgent brunch dishes weekends were made for, like Free-Range Fried Chicken and Biscuits, Baked Free-Range Eggs with pimento cheese and Hazelnut Crepes.

El Camino's

A casual joint serving generously-portioned Latin American street food-style eats. Vegan options are slim to none, but the kitchen offers to build animal-free dishes with brunch sides. Weekend brunch is served from 10-2.
